Ohio State Dealing With “New Set Of Challenges” Related To COVID-19 Ahead Of National Championship

The status of the national championship game has not changed.

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day had a one-word answer on Tuesday when asked whether his team was still on track to play on Monday: “Correct.” As long as that remains the case, the Buckeyes will meet Alabama in four days in the final game of this unconventional college football season with a trophy on the line.

Earlier this week, a report from AL.com surfaced to reveal that discussions between Ohio State, the Big Ten, Alabama, the SEC and the College Football Playoff about postponing the showdown with the Crimson Tide had occurred due to positive COVID-19 tests within the Buckeyes' football program.
